Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

This is a prospective pilot study to evaluate changes before and 4 weeks(+/- 1 week) after beta-blocker withdrawal in 30 HFpEF patients. The study involves 2 visits that are 4 weeks apart. The first study visit will occur at a standard of care clinic visit and the second visit will be a research visit to fill out questionnaires and perform the limited echocardiogram. No long term follow up beyond the 2nd visit.
